Tufts University Pan Hellenic Council Every College Campus with at least two sororities also has its own Pan Hellenic Council, and each participating house has at least two members of its chapter serving on the board. The two most important purposes of any Pan Hellenic Council are to serve as a representative governing body for campus sororities, and to coordinate Rush each year. At Tufts we strive to fulfill both of those purposes, but we also try to create unity amongst all of the sorority houses, by planning educational, social and philanthropic events for the houses and, whenever possible, the general Tufts community. As one of the largest women's organizations on campus, we try to sponsor activities to support women's causes, such as cancer, AIDS and violence. Currently we are planning a speaker series with SSARA and Tufts Health Services on date rape, violence against women and self-defense. In the past we have held "Flashdance" (an 80's club night) and "powderpuff" (a football game, sister versus sister) both to raise money for breast cancer. Every year we also participate in many campus activities, such as hosting booths for Kid's Day and creating our own patch of the "Patches for Peace" Quilt. Beyond our philanthropic efforts, we plan social events: club nights, barbeques and desert socials just to name a few. We are very proud to have such a large organization to unify all of the Tufts sororities, proving that the bonds of sisterhood can extend past one's own house, to all sisters under PanHel. |

"Within Alpha Phi, we strive towards the highest ideals of scholarship and womanhood" Founded in 1872, Alpha Phi is one of the oldest an most established national sororities. Here at Tufts, our Zeta Theta chapter has grown larger and stronger with time, creating a special place here on campus at 14 Sawyer Avenue. Each year undergraduate sisters catch up with alumni during the weekends of Homecoming and Spring Fling, striving to maintain those ties of friendship long after graduation. The sisters of Alpha Phi are a diverse group of individuals. Whether they are liberal arts students or engineers, they are always willing to advise their sisters. It doesn't matter if she is deciding on a major, balancing between classes and extracurricular activities, or simply trying to solve that awful calculus problem set. A sister in Alpha Phi is there to help. In addition to academics, the sisters of Alpha Phi are involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities including cultural organizations, dance groups, academic societies, sports teams, and a wide variety of internships. Sisters also spend their time giving back to the community by holding philanthropic events throughout the year to raise money for cardiac care and research. Over the past few years, Alpha Phi has hosted club nights in Boston, a haunted house for the community children, and clothing and canned food drives during the holiday season. Most importantly, Alpha Phi is about friendship. Along with our sisterhood comes little surprises like having your friends bring you breakfast in bed or having a bag of candy sent to your room when you're having the worst day. Can't sleep? Sisters are up for 24 hours during our 80's movie marathon. Bored? Not with our fall "Screw your Sister" mystery date semiformal. The sisters of Alpha Phi know that they can always look to each other to find people to laugh and cry with. The sisterhood of Alpha Phi is excited for rush and is looking forward to having a new addition to the Zeta Theta chapter. With each new and unique inidividual, Alpha Phi is certain to grow even stronger! |

Alpha Omicron Pi was founded in 1897 at Barnard College by four young women who wanted to continue their friendship for a lifetime. Since then, Alpha Omicron Pi had grown to include over 115,000 strong, successful, and caring women across the United States and Canada. The Delta Chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi here at Tufts University was established in 1908. We cultivate leadership, the ability to work with others, a desire to achieve personal goals, strong academics,and diversity. These building blocks of our sisterhood appear in all of our sisters' lives. To this end, AOIIs can be found in all apsects of campus life, from TEMS, to the Psychology Society, to the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, to Tufts Dance Colective, to LCS, VISIONS, Hillel, The Daily, and the crew, rugby, and equestrian teams. As you can see, each sister is unique in her own way, but we all share the common bond of our AOII sisterhood. We know that whenever we need someone to talk to, to cry with, or to laugh with...an AOII sister will be there for us. We share this sisterhood through many of our AOII activities, too. Our chapter is very active in our philanthropic efforts. We have an annual Valentine's Day lollipop sale to benefit arthritis research, our national philanthropy. Every Halloween, we go trick-or-treating with a fraternity for canned foods to donate to a local soup kitchen. In addition, we have many social events, including a fall Mystery Date semi-formal, a spring Formal, fraternity mixers, a December holiday party, and several alumnae events throughout the year, such as BBQs for Homecoming and Spring Fling. AOII sisterhood is a feeling of belonging to a group of women who accept you for who you are and encourage you to develop into who you want to become. In AOII, you can find a place where you feel at home. It's the power of frienship that makes our sisterhood unique. We enjoy our friendships in Alpha Omicron Pi for a lifetime, and we are looking forward to welcoming amazing, new women into our house to share in our sisterhood. |
